Painting of Huey P. Long by JK Lawson, provided by Preserve Louisiana

As their name implies, Preserve Louisiana is dedicated to preserving the unique culture of our state. Their efforts include this exhibition of seventeen of John K. Lawson's oil, collage, and mixed-media paintings; created between when Lawson lost twenty-five years of artwork when his home and studio flooded following Katrina and today. Themes of Louisiana's past and culture will be evident throughout the virtual and in-person exhibit, which includes Lawon's portrait of Huey P. Long to commemorate the ninetieth anniversary of the construction of the Old Governor's Mansion. A closing reception featuring a poetry reading and music by DJ Preservation will take place virtually from the artist's studio at 3 pm. For more information on the exhibit, including a full listing of pieces available for purchase, visit preserve-louisiana.org/passages-an-exhibition-of-louisiana-memory-for-sale.
